Our Process
Drawing Review:
Our process begins with a thorough review of the plans and drawings provided by the client. Our expert estimators and material takeoff specialists meet to discuss the key features of the items and trades that need to be quantified and taken off.
Estimation:
We utilize certified software such as PlanSwift, BlueBeam, and OST (OnScreenTakeoff) for precise estimation. After carefully preparing the takeoff and pricing for the trades and significant line items, we deliver the estimate and takeoff sheet in either the client's template or our own template, typically in EXCEL format.
Pricing:
We organize the estimate using codes from the drawings or CSI codes. After determining the value for each relevant trade and code, we provide pricing based on zip code, and we can also incorporate local vendor pricing. We consider factors such as political impacts, labor wages, material logistics, inflation, and site constraints when determining the final pricing.
